Baiscally I did this in line with my pulp entry to the competition.
(http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc31/Maenoferren/10mm/paintingcomp066-1.jpg)
the oasis and statue are on the 60mm bases the tent is on a cd and the temple wouldnt fit on a cd so it is a bigger base.
only wish the light box worked properly in all photos for the competion like it did for the oasis pic
Still look really, really superb though M ! =D> :-bd

Great work, Maenoferren. Particularly the temple. That must have been a lot of work. 8)
AMAZING ;)
Nicely done M - very atmospheric 8)
THanks for the nice comments chaps :-[

this shows the size of the builing in relation to a temple guardian not too big... you want to see the ones for 28mm ... Hertsblue...the temple is made of two types of Hirst arts blocks the main walls are the fieldstone block with the ruinedfieldstone mould making up the broken bits... the actual stones for want of a better word are a nice size for a ruined egytina something or other even though it is designed for 28mm... probably the most versatile set of moulds I have a quick paint brown, plenty of dry brushing and there you go...the temple at Djel Bebi
The tent from above in a bit better light...

Can't post a pyramid, way outside Royal Snail limitations.

Really nice! Is the temple scratchbuild?? What materials did you used if I can ask?
Maenoferran,
Those are brilliant, both the temple and the statue. But comments so far are right, the temple is a great achievement, incredibly realistic . Wish I could do that!

here is the small pyramid, i think i will repaint it though hasn't quite worked the way i wanted it too. PLus the top two blocks are glued on the wrong way round, that will niggle me forever! #-o
Also thanks for the nice comments chaps.. seriously though, the temple and statue were super fast to do :-[. speedy paint job and Bobs your uncle
The big temple, with assistance of a 6 year old, a three year old and a 16 month old... it was only when I was three rows up that i realised somebody had knicked one of the base blocks therefore the base is no longer a square so it has ended up looking more aztec than egyptian....grrrrr >:(

It's funny how you used the number '6' for 6 year old,
And the word 'three' for three year old. :P
But anyways, very nice!
outstanding work

yeah it was deliberate honest :-[ thanks for the kind comment
next bit will be the Temple in the mountain - well thats the plan - sort of... huge bronze door flanked by Gods against a cliff face.
I think I might be getting carried away :-[ :-[

well I ended up with this, should I leave it as a stand alone piece or butt it against a cliff face, what do people think? :-\
Very nice...I think you should bung it against a cliff - but bung a door in between the statues :)

Egyptian tombs often include false doorways. I think it's to confuse evil spirits. Who knows, this may mean fewer rolls of 1 at critical moments.
I'd go against a cliff, valley of the kings style...
Thanks guys, the orginal idea was a cliff face one, but then when it was built I dithered... a cliff it shall be.
It was going to have a doorway Nick, but some Nacker aka me forgot :-[ :-[ :-[
I will add one with card or something :D
You could go for a floor level entrance, steps down into the ground, that would keep the wall intact then!

How about a nice impressive bronze door with knobs and raised panels? You can build it up with plasticard. And don't forget the architrave and lintel. :)
cheers guys.... i might just do the steps down, rather than a door in the wall... a couple of pieces of thin block for the edges and a sandy depression to show something is there. Next piece planned is to have a huge bronze door with a scarab, hieroglyphs etc... just got to decide how to do it, got all the bits and pieces... might do it as a temple.... decisions, decisions.... :-\
it is getting there:

it has an opening at the base of the feet that you cant see from this photo. just needs to be covered in sand now and the bae sof the female painted again to hide the spalsh of filler.
